Chapter 249 AMX50 120 (4 votes plus change)

Bow down and thank you for the "Strategic Bombing" and "Silent Method" for the precious monthly passes! Bow and thank you for the 100 tips each from '128mmL71' and 'Perfection Like Water'!

Chen Mo's arrangement is absolutely reasonable, because although because of the location of the tank's birthplace, the East Road Heights will be the area where the enemy's mobile firepower is concentrated, and the enemy's ninth-level heavy tanks are likely to be concentrated on the East Road Heights, but the terrain of the East Road Heights makes it impossible to invest too many troops at one time, whether it is defense or offense, you can only waste troops if you gather all fifteen tanks in the East Road Highlands, because the firepower that can really be put into firefights is only four or five tanks.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, Chen Mo arranged for the fastest 704 among all his anti-tanks to go to the West Road Heights, and let the 704 squat in the C4 position on the north slope of the East Road Heights, from that position, you can support the middle very well, and you can also attack the enemy tanks that can get the East Road Heights, and because of the problem of shooting height, although the 704 in the C4 position has reached the limit of the shooting vision, it can still provide extremely effective support to the East Road Heights. And there is no need to squeeze the already not spacious defensive area on the East Road Heights.

And there is a more important reason, that is, once the middle lane is broken through by their own King Eight and M103, then 704 can use the speed to follow up, and when the time comes, the heavy firepower of their own side that breaks through along the central river will reach three, and the existence of these three heavy firepower will inevitably attract the enemy's heavy firepower, and the heavy troops assembled by their own side in the West Road Heights can take this opportunity to storm the West Road Heights. Thus completing the final strategic intent of the defense of the eastern route, the breakthrough of the middle and western routes.

As long as this strategic intent can be accomplished, then it will also mean the final victory of this battle, and even if the defense of the Eastern Road Heights has suffered huge losses or even dead and wounded, then the final victory will also belong to their side.

Now that the enemy will definitely have people who are familiar with this map, it is really difficult to achieve an overwhelming victory like before, so Chen Mo's strategic intention is to exchange the ultimate victory at the lowest cost, and to ensure victory as the first prerequisite goal, only on the premise of ensuring that this goal is achieved. Chen Mo will think about how to minimize losses.

When the 704 was just starting to climb. The first enemy tank to be lit up also appeared in the East Road Heights, which was a relatively fast French ninth-level heavy tank AMX50~120 (I was afraid that consecutive numbers would be blocked by an asterisk, so a small symbol was added in the middle, and I ask for your forgiveness). This guy was on their side of the E-50 when it went to the West Road Heights. Rely on his speed. I consciously took on the role of the vanguard of the East Road Highlands, trying to rely on speed to find out the situation of the East Road Highlands.

Because the enemy's heavy and medium tanks were born under the southern slope of the East Road Heights, it was natural for the East Road Heights to become the main attack area of the enemy tanks. However, the enemy's commander must also be familiar with this map, so of course he understands that the West Road Heights will definitely become the main attack direction on Chen Mo's side, so at the beginning of the game, he sent the only ninth-level Zhongtan to the West Road High Light, and then prepared to use the ninth-level anti-tank to act as the main defense force of the West Road Highlands.

The enemy's commander must have commanded the operation with this strategic idea of defending on the west and attacking on the east, so when the E-50 was sent to the high ground on the west road, the reconnaissance on the high ground on the east road naturally fell on Chongtan.

What is the model of the enemy's heavy tank, before it was lit by his own side, Chen Mo didn't know the way, but now the sudden appearance of this French ninth-level heavy tank 50~120 is obviously the reconnaissance vehicle arranged by the enemy on the East Road Highlands.

The enemy's 50~120 relied on speed to climb the east road high ground first, but this guy is obviously a person who is not familiar with the map, and the enemy commander probably did not tell him not to rush up, because the complex terrain of the east road high ground will definitely make the tank rush up feel what is called a dilemma.

Therefore, after the enemy's 50~120 climbed to the top of the East Road Heights, it did not first go to the west cliff to walk around, but rushed forward directly, apparently trying to reconnoiter along the West Road of the East Road Heights. To say that the idea of this 50120 is good, but he forgot what kind of car he is, he is not a medium tank or a light tank, this kind of meat detective work is handed over to the huge 50120 to do, hehe

As a ninth-level heavy tank, 50~120 is really not a very good heavy tank, because as a heavy tank, the first element is not strong firepower, but heavy armor, because only thick armor can make heavy tanks survive better on the battlefield. The role of heavy tanks on the battlefield is to resist the line and assault, if you lack the armor you rely on to survive, why do you resist the line, why do you go to assault?

The 50~120 car adheres to the characteristics of heavy firepower and light armor of French vehicles, as a sub-top heavy tank, 50~120 armor up and down the body, the thickest part is only 100 mm! Although the 50~120 has a maximum speed of 65 km/h, its mobility is superior to that of its class of heavy tanks and even medium tanks, and when the 10-class SA46 tank gun is installed, the tank gun with a four-shot magazine system has a burst output that no one in its class can match, but this still does not make this tank a true heavy tank.

In the history of the real world, this heavy tank, which was developed by the Gallic Empire after the war, is also a work that has not been put into mass production.

After the end of World War II, the army of the Gallic Empire lacked modern tanks to equip its troops, so in March 1945, the industrial sector of the Gallic State was invited to design a more satisfactory tank. In the same year the AMX company (atelier de Construction dIssy-les-Moulineaux) presented its 141 project, the so-called project M4 prototype. It is armed with a 90 mm DCA45 gun.

But at a time when the two prototypes of the AMXM4 were not yet completed, the military expressed their disappointment with them, since the level of protection of the 30-mm armor was too low to meet the expected requirements. The engineers then strengthened the car's armor and installed a new swinging turret, which later became the first prototype of the AMX50 family.

By August 1951, the Gallic State was working on the third project of the AMX50 series, and DEFA built ten early experimental tanks, the first of which was delivered in 1953. In response to the threat posed by Soviet IS-3 and T-10 tanks, the prototypes were equipped with a massive turret to mount a 120 mm tank gun. As for the turret, it was originally planned to use a conventional turret. However, it was decided to use the swinging turret. And the thickness of the armor has been increased.

By 1955, a total of 5 prototypes of the AMX50~120 were built, and although the AMX50 series passed the tests of the Gallic Imperial military, it was accompanied by the implementation of NATO standards. Such tanks were not in service.

Although in the end the tank was not listed. However, the tank is designed with a special automatic loader and a rocking turret. The perfect combination of high speed and heavy firepower of this tank was achieved.

The so-called swinging turret is to divide the traditional turret into two, and the gun is rigidly mounted on the upper turret. The two move in pitch (i.e., the muzzle is raised or lowered) around the trunnion of the gun as a whole, and there is no shield. The upper tower is supported on the lower tower by trunnions, while the lower tower is supported on the turret seat for rotational motion. For the sake of weight balance, the position of the gun trunnion is deviated from the back, so that when the elevation angle of the gun muzzle is high, the gun tail will not be lowered below the seat, so that the diameter of the turret seat can be made smaller, which is conducive to reducing the weight of the turret part and the whole vehicle.

Another advantage of the swinging turret is that it facilitates the automatic loading of shells, since the gun and the upper tower are connected as one, so as long as the shells are arranged in the appropriate position of the upper tower, the shells can be easily pushed into the chamber. However, the delivery process of the automatic loader of the traditional turret is an extremely complex space movement process, and it is very troublesome to implement this process.

In the space, 50~120 is also a swinging turret, so the artillery of this tank uses a magazine system, and when 50~120 uses 90 mm caliber and 100 mm caliber tank guns, they are all six consecutive shots, and when 50~120 hangs the 120 mm caliber tank gun, because of the increase in the caliber of the shells, it is four consecutive shots.

However, even if it is four consecutive shots, the power of this top gun of 50~120 is absolutely not to be underestimated, with a penetration depth of up to 257 mm and a damage of 400, it can definitely make this four-shot tank gun burst out with extremely terrifying damage in a very short time. Because the French car cannot be equipped with a traditional ammunition loser, only with the addition of ventilation, the loading time of this four-shot top-of-the-line gun can also be shortened to about 34 seconds per round.

However, although the firepower of 50~120 is fierce and uncast, its weak armor is too painful, so it is not so much that 50~120 is a ninth-level heavy tank, but that it is an anti-tank that can fire continuously! As for the pitch angle of the French car, which is always painful, it limits the effectiveness of this tank when it is attached to the terrain and acts.

Therefore, when the enemy's 50~120 appeared on the top of the east road and was ready to reconnoiter along the west mountain road, the tragic depression angle was doomed to its tragedy.

Chen Mo's SU-152 and Chen Tao's AT7 are stuck on the north slope of the mountain road in the west, and the angle of the oblique angle can allow these two anti-tanks to attack the 50~120 with their heads exposed at the first time, and 50~120 because of its extremely fucked depression angle, if you want to attack Chen Mo and Chen Tao below the hillside, at least the entire body must be driven into the north slope, so that the whole car can only be attacked when it is in a downhill state.

Can Chen Mo and Chen Tao be insidious, how could they let such a heavy tank with four consecutive rounds pour firepower on their heads? So when they saw that the 50~120 was trying to lean out, the two of them shamelessly aimed the muzzle of the 50~120 at the two tracked front leading wheels that had just emerged from the hillside!
